Schumann op.129 version for cello and string quartet!

Hi Andreas,

Thank you so much, the package arrived and it turned out to be a fantastic birthday present for myself…
I listend your beautiful recording of the Schumann concerto ? in this really fantastic arrangement with string 4-tet, Bravo!! great playing.
Nice to discover some interesting phrasings and interpretation in your playing.
Since I won’t play very soon with my orchestra in a big hall packed with public I’m certainly going to propose this arrangement to be programmed maybe this autumn
as a very beautiful alternative to the original version.
Our complete symphonic program of philharmonie zuidnederland has to be changed into chamber orchestra or even smaller ensemble programs anyway.
It’s nice for our cello group that we have a beautiful repertoire for cello ensemble which we did so now and than but next season more often.
Intentionally I ordered your Schumann 4-tet arrangement for my students but now it turns out to be a nice present for myself, thanks a lot!!
All the best,
Paul
